KC cord blood bank!

Granton had his check up in K.C. Yesterday. It went well. We don’t have any big news about B cells because they did not do any tests over that. Basically, they just did the normal things and checked him out. They are changing his IVIG to a once a week sub Q shot. I think that will be easier on him so I am happy about it. I was concerned for Jenni being in KC with Granton and all he has to go through with him while she also had to take care of Kaylynn. She said the kids acted well and it went pretty smooth. She was very happy with some additional news she got from Granton’s doctor. The Doctor who has been with us ever since we discovered Granton had SKIDs was happy to tell Jenni that the awareness Granton’s case caused has now established cord blood banking in K.C. at St. Luke’s, and who knows the expansions to other cities as well. His publicity will contribute to the large amount of recycled cord blood and many lives being saved. We are so happy to here these things. We know the national bone marrow registry has thousands more registered because of all the people touched by Granton’s story and we are thrilled and humbled when someone tells us they were able to give someone hope by donating bone marrow. What a blessing.

Thank you for all your continued prayers. We take a B-Cell test on March 17th. Keep praying for good news. We look forward to see where the Lord will take this story next.
